| General Information |
Inflorescence
The Heliconia psittacorum x spathocircinata,
Guyana, produces medium size, colorful flowers with dark
orange-red bracts. Most people think of the bracts as the bloom, but
the true flower are stiff, light-orange sepals that poke out of the
bracts at various points.
Some writers lump all the various psittacorums
into the misnomer "Parrot's Beak", but each of the many
cultivars in this group has distinctive colors and characteristics
and should be known by its proper name.
Heliconias belong in the plant family Heliconiaceae, within the order of the Zingiberales.
Please review the
Zingiberales Planting and Caring page for additional information.
